Hi guys, anyone have an opinion on the following.

I'm soon going to be fitting my LC-1 WB to my evo 6.

I have made a tail pipe clamp to hold the sensor.

but just wondering about powering up the sensor? has anyone powered these up by using the cigarette lighter socket?

do you see any issues powering up from there?

(want to be able to move from one vehicle to another with minimum fuss)

(I have 2 turbo cars and several friends with turbs)

.......I know my afr's may be reading 0.3 - 0.4 leaner than if it were in the downpipe.

cheers guys

 

I've used the cigarette lighter in newer cars. In anything with questionable wiring, I hook up directly to the battery with clamps, a fuse, and a switch.

 

cool, got it up and running (seemed ok) but realised that the tail pipe clamp I have made is no good as the back of the wb sensor needs to be to air......nevermind......I will get there eventually!
